What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Designer position at Roadrunner?
About Us
At Roadrunner, we’re replacing the broken CPQ software that Sales teams have complained about, worked around, and given up on for years. Not improving it - replacing it. We’re building a new agentic stack called PQA - Prompt, Quote, Approve, designed for the enterprise, on a data model built for how pricing actually works today.
We’re Kleiner Perkins’ first incubation since Glean, led by second-time founders with successful exits, and a team of engineers from Snowflake, Databricks, Citadel, Meta, Robinhood, Brex, and so on. We’re in-person in San Francisco, and we’re just getting started.
What You’ll Do
We value our differences, and we encourage all to apply — especially those whose identities are traditionally underrepresented in tech organizations. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, political belief, or any other characteristic protected by law. Roadrunner is an equal opportunity employer.

What You’ll Do
- Set the tone for how the product looks and feels. You'll curate the taste of the product — every interaction, layout, and detail should feel intentional.
- Turn hard problems into UI that just works. CPQ is full of complex workflows and dense data — you'll make them feel simple without hiding the complexity users actually need.
- Work directly with engineers and the people using what you build. You'll be embedded with engineers on dedicated workstreams, making decisions in real time. Get feedback fast, iterate faster.
- Design with AI tools, for AI-native workflows. You'll shape how users interact with and trust AI agents, and use AI in your own process to move fast.
- Build an airtight design system. You'll evolve our design system so you and engineers can ship consistent UI at speed.
- Designing a quoting experience that lets AEs configure complex multi-product deals in minutes instead of hours.
- Defining the visual language and component patterns for approval workflows that handle multibillion-dollar transactions — where clarity isn't a nice-to-have, it's a requirement.
- Evolving our design system to support new product surfaces while keeping the token architecture clean and the component library tight.
- Systems thinking. You see patterns across screens and build for reuse, not one-offs.
- High autonomy and a builder's mindset — you figure out what needs to be designed and do it.
- Experience designing with AI tools to move faster without sacrificing quality.
- Clear, direct communication with engineers and founders. You can articulate why a design works, not just what it looks like.
- Based in SF or excited to relocate — we're an in-person team.
- Strong visual chops — you sweat the details on layout, typography, color, and spacing
- Frontend-aware and have shipped a PR.
- Experience designing complex B2B/SaaS workflows, especially with AI-powered features where trust and user control matter.
- You've been at an early-stage company and know what full ownership of design actually feels like.
- Medical, dental, and vision benefits for you and your family.
- Lunch and dinner, as well as snacks and coffee to keep you energized.
- Take what you need vacation policy.
